Day 2... and the legs are stating to ache

After the success of the first days effort we settled down in Exeter and and took up an invitation at "The White Ensign Club" for a few refreshing pints. Some of the younger lads discoverd the delights of line dancing and enjoyed the female companionship this brought even if some of the women where older than their Grand Parents!

We owe all the patrons of the "White Ensign Club" a great thanks for their donation to chaity and their hospitality.

Day Two began with a beautiful clear and crisp morning to greet the first runner. We made good progress and arrived in Yeovilton on time, despite the runner and support wagon losing their way for an hour! We received a few curious looks from farmers as a runner, in fluescent training top and mini bus, with fashing amber light slowly passed their farm yards.

The bus had to make a few unschedued stops for members of the team who where, "caught short" and in need of releif

The team spent Tuesday night at RNAS Yeovilton and a big thank you must go to the Leading Hands and Corpral`s mess who organised a halloween party for us, with all proceeds going to the South West Children`s Heart Circle. The bar really got into the swing of things with some fantastic fancy dress. The winner of the scaryist costume award must go to CPO "Mac" Bayliss whose "civies" looked like somthing out of a 70`s horror movie!

With females in the bar, the young lads could only watch in awe as "Paddy" Mac strutted his stuff and got close and personnel with "cat woman" and a "sexy nun."

A big thank you to the Mess president, Keith Armitage and vice president Hayley Smith and their staff, for taking the time and effort to organise the party for us.

With sore heads and aching limbs it is on to day 3.....
